The word [1697] that the LORD [3068] spake [1696] against Babylon [0894] [and] against the land [0776] of the Chaldeans [3778] by [3027] Jeremiah [3414] the prophet. [5030]

2

Declare [5046] ye among the nations, [1471] and publish, [8085] and set up [5375] a standard; [5251] publish, [8085] [and] conceal [3582] not: say, [0559] Babylon [0894] is taken, [3920] Bel [1078] is confounded, [3001] Merodach [4781] is broken in pieces; [2865] her idols [6091] are confounded, [3001] her images [1544] are broken in pieces. [2865]

3

For out of the north [6828] there cometh up [5927] a nation [1471] against her, which shall make [7896] her land [0776] desolate, [8047] and none shall dwell [3427] therein: they shall remove, [5110] they shall depart, [1980] both man [0120] and beast. [0929]

4

In those days, [3117] and in that time, [6256] saith [5002] the LORD, [3068] the children [1121] of Israel [3478] shall come, [0935] they and the children [1121] of Judah [3063] together, [3162] going [1980] and weeping: [1058] they shall go, [3212] and seek [1245] the LORD [3068] their God. [0430]

5

They shall ask [7592] the way [1870] to Zion [6726] with their faces [6440] thitherward, [2008] [saying], Come, [0935] and let us join [3867] ourselves to the LORD [3068] in a perpetual [5769] covenant [1285] [that] shall not be forgotten. [7911]

6

My people [5971] hath been lost [0006] sheep: [6629] their shepherds [7462] have caused them to go astray, [8582] they have turned them away [7725] [on] the mountains: [2022] they have gone [1980] from mountain [2022] to hill, [1389] they have forgotten [7911] their restingplace. [7258]

7

All that found [4672] them have devoured [0398] them: and their adversaries [6862] said, [0559] We offend [0816] not, because they have sinned [2398] against the LORD, [3068] the habitation [5116] of justice, [6664] even the LORD, [3068] the hope [4723] of their fathers. [0001]

8

Remove [5110] out of the midst [8432] of Babylon, [0894] and go forth [3318] out of the land [0776] of the Chaldeans, [3778] and be as the he goats [6260] before [6440] the flocks. [6629]

9

For, lo, I will raise [5782] and cause to come up [5927] against Babylon [0894] an assembly [6951] of great [1419] nations [1471] from the north [6828] country: [0776] and they shall set themselves in array [6186] against her; from thence she shall be taken: [3920] their arrows [2671] [shall be] as of a mighty [1368] expert [7919] man; none shall return [7725] in vain. [7387]

10

And Chaldea [3778] shall be a spoil: [7998] all that spoil [7997] her shall be satisfied, [7646] saith [5002] the LORD. [3068]

11

Because ye were glad, [8055] because ye rejoiced, [5937] O ye destroyers [8154] of mine heritage, [5159] because ye are grown fat [6335] as the heifer [5697] at grass, [1877] [1758] and bellow [6670] as bulls; [0047]

12

Your mother [0517] shall be sore [3966] confounded; [0954] she that bare [3205] you shall be ashamed: [2659] behold, the hindermost [0319] of the nations [1471] [shall be] a wilderness, [4057] a dry [6723] land, and a desert. [6160]

13

Because of the wrath [7110] of the LORD [3068] it shall not be inhabited, [3427] but it shall be wholly desolate: [8077] every one that goeth [5674] by Babylon [0894] shall be astonished, [8074] and hiss [8319] at all her plagues. [4347]

14

Put yourselves in array [6186] against Babylon [0894] round about: [5439] all ye that bend [1869] the bow, [7198] shoot [3034] at her, spare [2550] no arrows: [2671] for she hath sinned [2398] against the LORD. [3068]

15

Shout [7321] against her round about: [5439] she hath given [5414] her hand: [3027] her foundations [0803] are fallen, [5307] her walls [2346] are thrown down: [2040] for it [is] the vengeance [5360] of the LORD: [3068] take vengeance [5358] upon her; as she hath done, [6213] do [6213] unto her.

16

Cut off [3772] the sower [2232] from Babylon, [0894] and him that handleth [8610] the sickle [4038] in the time [6256] of harvest: [7105] for fear [6440] of the oppressing [3238] sword [2719] they shall turn [6437] every one [0376] to his people, [5971] and they shall flee [5127] every one [0376] to his own land. [0776]

17

Israel [3478] [is] a scattered [6340] sheep; [7716] the lions [0738] have driven [him] away: [5080] first [7223] the king [4428] of Assyria [0804] hath devoured [0398] him; and last [0314] this Nebuchadrezzar [5019] king [4428] of Babylon [0894] hath broken his bones. [6105]

18

Therefore thus saith [0559] the LORD [3068] of hosts, [6635] the God [0430] of Israel; [3478] Behold, I will punish [6485] the king [4428] of Babylon [0894] and his land, [0776] as I have punished [6485] the king [4428] of Assyria. [0804]

19

And I will bring Israel [3478] again [7725] to his habitation, [5116] and he shall feed [7462] on Carmel [3760] and Bashan, [1316] and his soul [5315] shall be satisfied [7646] upon mount [2022] Ephraim [0669] and Gilead. [1568]

20

In those days, [3117] and in that time, [6256] saith [5002] the LORD, [3068] the iniquity [5771] of Israel [3478] shall be sought for, [1245] and [there shall be] none; and the sins [2403] of Judah, [3063] and they shall not be found: [4672] for I will pardon [5545] them whom I reserve. [7604]

21

Go up [5927] against the land [0776] of Merathaim, [4850] [even] against it, and against the inhabitants [3427] of Pekod: [6489] waste [2717] and utterly destroy [2763] after [0310] them, saith [5002] the LORD, [3068] and do [6213] according to all that I have commanded [6680] thee.

22

A sound [6963] of battle [4421] [is] in the land, [0776] and of great [1419] destruction. [7667]

23

How is the hammer [6360] of the whole earth [0776] cut asunder [1438] and broken! [7665] how is Babylon [0894] become a desolation [8047] among the nations! [1471]

24

I have laid a snare [3369] for thee, and thou art also taken, [3920] O Babylon, [0894] and thou wast not aware: [3045] thou art found, [4672] and also caught, [8610] because thou hast striven [1624] against the LORD. [3068]

25

The LORD [3068] hath opened [6605] his armoury, [0214] and hath brought forth [3318] the weapons [3627] of his indignation: [2195] for this [is] the work [4399] of the Lord [0136] GOD [3069] of hosts [6635] in the land [0776] of the Chaldeans. [3778]

26

Come [0935] against her from the utmost border, [7093] open [6605] her storehouses: [3965] cast her up [5549] as heaps, [6194] and destroy her utterly: [2763] let nothing of her be left. [7611]

27

Slay [2717] all her bullocks; [6499] let them go down [3381] to the slaughter: [2874] woe [1945] unto them! for their day [3117] is come, [0935] the time [6256] of their visitation. [6486]

28

The voice [6963] of them that flee [5127] and escape out [6405] of the land [0776] of Babylon, [0894] to declare [5046] in Zion [6726] the vengeance [5360] of the LORD [3068] our God, [0430] the vengeance [5360] of his temple. [1964]

29

Call together [8085] the archers [7228] against Babylon: [0894] all ye that bend [1869] the bow, [7198] camp [2583] against it round about; [5439] let none thereof escape: [6413] recompense [7999] her according to her work; [6467] according to all that she hath done, [6213] do [6213] unto her: for she hath been proud [2102] against the LORD, [3068] against the Holy One [6918] of Israel. [3478]

30

Therefore shall her young men [0970] fall [5307] in the streets, [7339] and all her men [0582] of war [4421] shall be cut off [1826] in that day, [3117] saith [5002] the LORD. [3068]

31

Behold, I [am] against thee, [O thou] most proud, [2087] saith [5002] the Lord [0136] GOD [3069] of hosts: [6635] for thy day [3117] is come, [0935] the time [6256] [that] I will visit [6485] thee.

32

And the most proud [2087] shall stumble [3782] and fall, [5307] and none shall raise him up: [6965] and I will kindle [3341] a fire [0784] in his cities, [5892] and it shall devour [0398] all round about [5439] him.

33

Thus saith [0559] the LORD [3068] of hosts; [6635] The children [1121] of Israel [3478] and the children [1121] of Judah [3063] [were] oppressed [6231] together: [3162] and all that took them captives [7617] held [2388] them fast; they refused [3985] to let them go. [7971]

34

Their Redeemer [1350] [is] strong; [2389] the LORD [3068] of hosts [6635] [is] his name: [8034] he shall throughly [7378] plead [7378] their cause, [7379] that he may give rest [7280] to the land, [0776] and disquiet [7264] the inhabitants [3427] of Babylon. [0894]

35

A sword [2719] [is] upon the Chaldeans, [3778] saith [5002] the LORD, [3068] and upon the inhabitants [3427] of Babylon, [0894] and upon her princes, [8269] and upon her wise [2450] [men].

36

A sword [2719] [is] upon the liars; [0907] and they shall dote: [2973] a sword [2719] [is] upon her mighty men; [1368] and they shall be dismayed. [2865]

37

A sword [2719] [is] upon their horses, [5483] and upon their chariots, [7393] and upon all the mingled people [6153] that [are] in the midst [8432] of her; and they shall become as women: [0802] a sword [2719] [is] upon her treasures; [0214] and they shall be robbed. [0962]

38

A drought [2721] [is] upon her waters; [4325] and they shall be dried up: [3001] for it [is] the land [0776] of graven images, [6456] and they are mad [1984] upon [their] idols. [0367]

39

Therefore the wild beasts of the desert [6728] with the wild beasts of the islands [0338][0339] shall dwell [3427] [there], and the owls [1323] [3284] shall dwell [3427] therein: and it shall be no more inhabited [3427] for ever; [5331] neither shall it be dwelt [7931] in from generation [1755] to generation. [1755]

40

As God [0430] overthrew [4114] Sodom [5467] and Gomorrah [6017] and the neighbour [7934] [cities] thereof, saith [5002] the LORD; [3068] [so] shall no man [0376] abide [3427] there, neither shall any son [1121] of man [0120] dwell [1481] therein.

41

Behold, a people [5971] shall come [0935] from the north, [6828] and a great [1419] nation, [1471] and many [7227] kings [4428] shall be raised up [5782] from the coasts [3411] of the earth. [0776]

42

They shall hold [2388] the bow [7198] and the lance: [3591] they [are] cruel, [0394] and will not shew mercy: [7355] their voice [6963] shall roar [1993] like the sea, [3220] and they shall ride [7392] upon horses, [5483] [every one] put in array, [6186] like a man [0376] to the battle, [4421] against thee, O daughter [1323] of Babylon. [0894]

43

The king [4428] of Babylon [0894] hath heard [8085] the report [8088] of them, and his hands [3027] waxed feeble: [7503] anguish [6869] took hold [2388] of him, [and] pangs [2427] as of a woman in travail. [3205]

44

Behold, he shall come up [5927] like a lion [0738] from the swelling [1347] of Jordan [3383] unto the habitation [5116] of the strong: [0386] but I will make them suddenly [7280] run away [7323] from her: and who [is] a chosen [0977] [man, that] I may appoint [6485] over her? for who [is] like me? and who will appoint me the time? [3259] and who [is] that shepherd [7462] that will stand [5975] before [6440] me?

45

Therefore hear [8085] ye the counsel [6098] of the LORD, [3068] that he hath taken [3289] against Babylon; [0894] and his purposes, [4284] that he hath purposed [2803] against the land [0776] of the Chaldeans: [3778] Surely the least [6810] of the flock [6629] shall draw them out: [5498] surely he shall make [their] habitation [5116] desolate [8074] with them.

46

At the noise [6963] of the taking [8610] of Babylon [0894] the earth [0776] is moved, [7493] and the cry [2201] is heard [8085] among the nations. [1471]
